The Unofficial Dictionary of Obama-Speak

I watch and read a lot of news. It bothers me how our President will play fast and loose with the English language to his own benefit. So I thought it would be entertaining and informative to collect a few and present them here.Post Racial = Most RacialTransparency = Like a brick wallI take full responsibility = It's Bush's faultLead from behind = RetreatI will not rest until… = I got a tee time in an hourI promise the American People = Don’t bet on itI have lowered taxes for the middle class = Hide your moneyI don’t want to take your guns = Hide your gunsWe need more spending = Even John Maynard Keynes would have bailed out by nowOur borders are more secure than ever = Borders? We’ve go borders?The job market is improving = In ChinaStop the transfer of illegal weapons = Unless to Mexican cartels or Muslim terroristsTerrorist = Evangelical ChristianOverspending = no such conceptTruth = Whatever Democrats sayLie = Everything Republicans sayLine in the sand = Line? What line? I don’t see no stinkin line.Mexican violence = American problemIslamic terror = American problemJob training = Paper or plastic, Maam?I did every thing possible about Benghazi = It's Hillary's faultI am sure that there are many more. This is just a quick sampling. But in general a great deal of what he says means just the opposite. So watch carefully what he says and watch even more carefully what he does.

About Me

There is too much obfuscation in todays world. Outright lying is being disengenuous if it is done by a politician. Everything is about party and power rather than country. Freedom suffers under the weight of unelected bureaucrats. The dollar loses value and politicians continue to spend without limits. When we need an honest ten year and twenty year plan our congress can't devise a two year plan.
Being retired, I read a lot of news online and watch what is being said on the TV. I would like to try to cut through some of the fog and blather and get a little closer to reality. One can but hope.
